The RecordBar in Kansas City can feature some pretty diverse lineups, but the booking agent there must know what he’s doing because these lineups always work. Wednesday, the bar brought Ume, Fierce Bad Rabbit and Radiation City together for a genre-ranging show that carried the audience from gentle indie pop to blown out rock-and-roll.

While one may argue that teenage wangsting doesn’t really constitute a “saga” – no, not even if one of the teenagers is a vampire – Edward and Jacob fangirls (because who out there really is a fan of Bella? I mean, really?) across the country should be excited to hear that their favorite hunks of paranormal hotness are hitting the big screen even before the November 18th release of Breaking Dawn – Part 1.

It was already a treat to have Yellowcard return to making music in 2011 with the release of When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes. Now Yellowcard has another treat for fans: an acoustic version of that entire album.

The third installment of the Paranormal Activity franchise lives up to the standards set by the first two films in style, effects, performance and over all quality. Paranormal Activity creator/writer Oren Peli with directing duo Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (who brought us the must-see Catfish) put together a film that is, simply put, very well done. The way they are able to seamlessly tell a story via […]

Paranormal Activity 3… Expect the Unexpected.

For rock music lovers, it can be a bit difficult to explain what’s so entertaining about a band like Explosions in the Sky. “Instrumental rock? Like Bach and stuff?” This is a sadly common reaction I get when I recommend the Austin, Texas band Explosions in the Sky to people. No, symphony orchestras don’t have a monopoly on instrumental music; and yes, instrumental music can indeed “rock.” Even if people seem like they’re understanding the concept of instrumental rock, they’re still skeptical of how that can translate into an entertaining live show. Admittedly, there are plenty of instrumental rock bands that do have boring live shows or depend on lights to keep people entertained. But Explosions in the Sky live up to their name with an explosive and energetic live show that is a feast for eyes and ears.

Remakes — eeks! Many a film lover cringes at the idea of a remake. But in a few rare instances, the remake can outshine the original. This is the case with the new spin on the classic dance comedy “Footloose.”

From the first striking image of an apartment submerged in water accompanied with a whimsical, whistling tune and a mention of a princess and a monster, “The Shape of Water” definitely digs its foundation in fairytale territory. And it is indeed a fairy tale with a promised princess, a monster and a small ragtag supporting […]
